In light of the ongoing spread of COVID-19, AFCPE is taking extra precautions to protect the health and safety of Symposium Registrants and AFCPE directors, staff, volunteers, and agents; however, AFCPE is unable to guarantee that you will not become infected with the COVID-19 virus while at, or during travel to or from, the Symposium or in surrounding areas.  Registrants acknowledge that COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus and that, despite precautions taken to minimize risk, there is still a possibility that Registrants will be exposed to or contract COVID-19 at the Symposium.  By registering to attend all or part of the Symposium, Registrants voluntarily assume the risk that they may be exposed to or contract COVID-19 at, or during travel to or from, the Symposium or in surrounding areas.  Registrants hereby knowingly release and agree to hold AFCPE, and their directors, staff, volunteers, and any agents (the “Released Parties”), harmless from and against all liabilities (statutory or otherwise) for claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, interest, and expense (including but not limited to attorney’s fees and disbursements) for injury, illness, permanent disability, or death related to COVID-19 arising from or in connection with the Symposium, travel to or from the Symposium, or any activities related to the Symposium, even if arising from the negligence, acts, or omissions of the Released Parties.

By registering for the in-person 2023 Symposium, I hereby certify that I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or that I will comply with any masking and/or COVID-19 testing requirements in effect at the 2023 Symposium in New Orleans, LA. Any attendees not complying and/or commenting on the choices of other attendees may be asked to attend the remainder of the Symposium virtually.
